ase-meta-commit

A commit-message helper that examines changes already staged in Git, the version-control system used to track code changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
It classifies staged changes as new, improved, fixed, updated, cleaned up, or refactored, then writes a short imperative commit message.
Why use it?
It removes the need to review staged changes and decide on a consistent message format by hand.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

ase-meta-commit scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

  1. Run the following command to find out details of what changes are currently staged in the Git index for commit, capturing its output into :

    git diff --cached

  2. Craft a commit in the following format:

    <type/>: <summary/>

    The known s (kept deliberately in sync with the intent groups of the ase-meta-diff and ase-meta-changelog skills) and their usual corresponding kind of change are:

    • FEATURE: new functionality or configuration
    • IMPROVEMENT: improved functionality or configuration
    • BUGFIX: corrected functionality or configuration
    • UPDATE: updated functionality or configuration
    • CLEANUP: cleaned up functionality or configuration
    • REFACTOR: refactored functionality or configuration

    The rules for generating are:

    • Use a maximum of 60-80 characters
    • Use imperative mood ("add" not "added")
    • Use no period at the end
    • Use no Markdown formatting

    Output this crafted commit message with the following :

    Do not output any further explanation.

    Finally, give the closing hint by expanding the following (which, depending on the configured , may expand into nothing and hence emit no output at all):

    The staged changes do not touch CHANGELOG.md -- use /ase-meta-changelog to update its entries before committing.

Files

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
